Well, given that Hiccup seems to be taking a leaf out of Batman's book with that flight suit, I propose that we have Drago break his back.

I'm joking... I think.

In all seriousness, breaking a character psychologically tends to be more interesting than breaking them physically, though I suppose the latter could be more fun for the villain (alternatively: why not have both?).

After his physical loss in the first film, I'm kind of hoping for a significant emotional loss. Something he can't amend with his skills in engineering. I'm not sure if they can top his loss in the first film though, it worked on so many levels. it:

-Created physical parallels between hiccup and Toothless
-Made everything come full circle with Hiccup needing to rely on Toothless till he could "fly" again
-Showed how, despite doing the right thing against heavy odds, Hiccup's choice would not be without consequence making the world feel more believable and real
-Gave Hiccup and Toothless something to overcome together which is something that they became really good at over the course of the movie. It's also one of the principle factors of their entire relationship

If Hiccup takes another loss in this film, I hope it has just as much impact if not more than the first loss.

Cut his other leg off to balance him out.

Cut his other leg off to balance him out.

and the arms too, they will only weight him down when he flies!
